Abstract
Intelligence and security services are a useful state apparatus; they are considered to be of special importance in every country. They can help protect and develop social relations, but they can also be an obstacle to the democratic development of society. The subject of this research is the social control of these services, which, if not appropriately resolved, instead of being in the purpose of society, can be used to serve the interests of powerful individuals and groups, which is completely contrary to their statutory role. The issue of intelligence service control in each country is of great importance for the development of democratic relations. In a divided society, such as the one in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it has a larger dimension due to the still present ethnic tensions and the disagreement of political elites on many issues, the most important of which is the interpretation of the Dayton Agreement. The paper presents the development of civilian intelligence services in BiH, and the way of their social control from the dissolution of the SFRY to the present day. Did it exist only declaratively or were the legal solutions implemented in practice? The aim of this paper is to answer these questions.
